How this paint calculator works

Wall area is the room's perimeter times the wall height, minus a standard opening for each door (21 sq ft) and window (15 sq ft). Multiply by the number of coats, then divide by your paint's coverage rate (350 sq ft per gallon is a common average for smooth interior walls, check your can for the exact figure).

FAQ

Common questions

Short answers for the questions people usually have before trying a utility like this.

Is this paint calculator free?

Yes. It is completely free, with no sign-up and no usage limits.

Is my data sent anywhere?

No. Every number is computed locally in your browser tab.

Why does my paint can list a different coverage rate?

Coverage depends on the paint formula and the surface texture; a textured or porous wall soaks up more paint than a smooth, previously painted one. Use the figure on your specific can for the most accurate result.
